I bought a matched set of TKV11 (front) and 12 (rear) for my cherry 84 Honda CB700SC Nighthawk. 5th set of tires since I bought the bike in 1988. Original Dunlops OK. Replaced them with Avon Roadrunners better. Then 2 sets of BT45 Bridgestones great grip but only about 8000 miles and worn out. Now the Continetals. Ridden them about 300 miles. The front tire hates grooved concrete (which we have a lot of around Virginia on Interstate). When the grooves run along the road the tire moves laterally much more then the Dunlops Avons or Bridgestones. Scary when you have this surface in tunnels on a wet day. Will see if things improve with more use.
